In short: Yes, this is what I use it for. This is of course only true provided that everything is configured and connected properly. You first need to make sure that: 1. your computer has the S-Video port and 2. your TV has the yellow RCA port (often there are three round connectors yellow (video), red and white (sound) side by side) In many cases the computer will automatically detect the TV if it is connected before starting the computer. If it does, it should clone the screen on the TV without the need for you to do anything. Of course, make sure you are on the right channel of the TV. To get everything working nicely: -on the computer side: you might need to adjust the screen resolution depending on the exact setup (if the picture is "too big" for the TV). -on the TV side: you might want to tune the brightness and contrast. One last detail, this cable is designed for video. The picture should be fine when watching a movie, however if you display text on the screen, you might find it a little less than super crisp.

If you are using a TV with a component video input (Red, Blue, Green) then it will work but if it does not then it will not. This is a component only cable. I would recommend going with a cheaper composite option if your TV doesn't have a component video input.

yes, hdmi cables pass video signals as well as audio signals, on the control panel on your pc make sure the audio is set to HDMI.

HDMI cable will give you a better picture, but the cable that came with it will work.

I use it to transmit what on my laptop to my big screen tv, it shows what ever you see on your computer.

No, this is a display port cable. If you have a DP port on your desktop, then yes you can, but if you only have HDMI then this will not help you. Cable is of poor quality anyways, build quality and technical, being that it goes from digital output to an analog input. It's a specialty thing that you only get if you are in a bind and HAVE to do it this way. Look for an HDMI to VGA cable.

I'm not sure, but this is a mini HDMI cable. Usually computers use the standard HDMI cables.

The cable didn't work on my TV. On a computer monitor it looked amazing. Only way I can see it working is with a VGA to HDMI adapter, but you have to dish out some extra bucks. The cheap ones do not work. I tried two and the colors had a yellow hue. Test the cable first on a monitor, if its clear it works. If its still bad its possible you may have a defect.

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this.Good Luck

Yes, it's pretty easy, and self-explanatory. There are two very different and distinct ends on this cable. The bigger (kinda squished) end is called the HDMI, and will go on your TV. Your TV hopefully will have at least one port that will say HDMI, and that's where you plug that end of the cable (if your TV is more than 10 years old, maybe it won't, but probably it will). The other end of the cable will go on your Mac. Again, hopefully your computer will have the "mini displayPort" port (you would have to check your computer's specifications for that). Take a look at your computer, and see if there is anything that would probably match the end of the cable. If you look closely, the right port would have a simple sign next to it, looking like a screen with two vertical bars next to it (something like this: IOI ) you plug the cable there, and you are good to go. If you have the right equipment and you got the right cable, that should do it. Sorry I can't be more specific than this, but there can be so many variables, and things change quite frequently, so we cannot really be sure what ports your TV and computer really have. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

No. This will show the same thing on both screens. You need a video card with dual outputs to do what you want.

Using HDMI, yes. However, since computer monitors aren't designed for TV viewing, you may not get the quality of an HD TV.

There is a $35 gadget called Google Chromecast that will allow you to see on your big screen TV anything that is on your computer. Otherwise you will have to find another way to connect your computer to your TV set. There are several gadgets that can do that, but the Google Chromecast is the cheapest and easiest I've seen.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

honestly it will depend if your computer has the same size hdmi port as your tv does. I have a computer at home that has a video card in it that has the smaller a size output , this cable would not work for that. But i have purchased a cable that does work for it at this link -> AmazonBasics High-Speed Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters) - Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return . the easiest thing you could do is look at the port on your computer and your tv, if they are the same size, buy this cable, if the computer one is smaller, than use the link i pasted in this message... good luck. honestly it will depend if your computer has the same size hdmi port as your tv does.

No the cable for some reason does not have the power to transfer the image of your computer to ur tv.

Only shows the laptop screen. Also, it really doesn't work very well at all. You're better off with an hdmi cable.
